Google Home can now handle up to three commands at once

Bonnie Manning

Now, Google Home devices are getting even smarter with improved support for multiple queries.

How often do you use the Google Assistant on your Google Home speaker (s)? Today, that functionality is starting to go live. The smart speaker from Google will soon be able to perform up to three queries/ commands at a time, so that you can multitask using just the spoken word.

Previously, asking to "turn off living room and bedroom" when referring to those home control groups simply didn't work. For example, you can not say, "Hey Google, turn on the lights in the living room and in the bedroom", since in the bedroom isn't a complete command. Google has not yet announced this feature officially, as the support page still says that it's limited to two commands only. Others needed to update their Google Home firmware.

Now, users can say something more natural, such as "turn off the lights in the bedroom and living room". For example, instead of saying "Ok, Google, what's the weather in NY and what's the weather in San Francisco?", you can simply say "Ok, Google, what's the weather in NY and San Francisco?".
